New routes from Spain to Finland highlight continued growth in active travel
Wikinger Reisen is expanding its cycling portfolio for the 2026 season, adding new group and self-guided tours across Europe. The update reflects the ongoing strength of the active travel segment, including growing interest in Northern Europe.
Finland in focus: island cycling in the archipelago
One of the key additions is an eight-day cycling tour through the Turku Archipelago. The route combines relaxed cycling stages with ferry crossings between islands, offering a mix of nature, flexibility, and slow travel – a combination that continues to resonate strongly with international travelers.
What does this mean for the market?
- Active travel remains a key driver
Cycling continues to be one of the most stable and in-demand travel formats.
- Northern Europe is gaining traction
Destinations like Finland are increasingly featured in international cycling programs.
- Flexibility is essential
The mix of guided and self-guided tours reflects a more diverse and individualised demand.
With this expansion, Wikinger Reisen reinforces the importance of active travel within European tourism. For tour operators, it’s a clear signal to further develop nature-based and cycling products, especially in emerging Nordic destinations.
